Transcendent!

Cheng Yuyao's eyes lit up, and a hint of madness flickered across her face.

Heavenly God Group, a top-tier corporation, naturally encountered a vast amount of information. Cheng Yuyao, too, had some knowledge about Transcendents and Martial Artists. She knew that in this seemingly ordinary world, many powerful beings possessed strength far beyond ordinary people! Their power was incredibly formidable. If I could become such a powerful being, I wouldn't just be the president of the Heavenly God Group; I could even disregard the four major families of Beijing!

A flame ignited in Cheng Yuyao's heart. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "If I kill that Qin Heng, can I step into the Transcendent realm? How strong will I become? How will I compare to Tianhai's Qin Xuantian?"

Her understanding of Martial Artists mostly came from the Martial Arts Forum, using her father's senior account, which allowed her to see information unavailable to ordinary accounts. This included some of Qin Xuantian's battle achievements and even photos of his Dao physique!

Cheng Yuyao greatly admired this young expert who had suddenly risen to prominence in recent months by repeatedly defeating Innate Grandmasters. In her eyes, only a young expert like Qin Xuantian was worthy of being with her.

"..." The figure of light fell silent and, after a long pause, asked, "Who is this Qin Xuantian you speak of? What kind of strength does he possess?"

She seemed somewhat puzzled.

"You don't know Qin Xuantian?" Cheng Yuyao expressed surprise, a trace of suspicion toward the mysterious figure of light coloring her tone. Nevertheless, she explained, "He's the current rising star of the Martial Dao in China! At just eighteen years old, he is already an Innate peak Great Grandmaster. His strength is so formidable that he killed Miyamoto Muneyoshi, the Innate Great Grandmaster of Japan, with a single palm strike. It's extremely impressive."

"Japan? You must mean the Wa Country," the figure of light chuckled. "Martial Artists from the Wa Country have only learned a superficial amount of our Divine Province's Martial Dao. Defeating an Innate from the Wa Country is nothing remarkable."

"It's not just Martial Artists from Japan." Cheng Yuyao seemed somewhat displeased that the figure of light was belittling Qin Xuantian. "He also killed Hong Guchen, a True Disciple of the Encompass Starry Pavilion, and the incarnation of the Sun Temple's Innate peak expert, Zhong Shenxi, known as the Doomsday Bell Divine Ruin of the Gods!"

"What? A True Disciple of the Encompass Starry Pavilion, and the incarnation of an Innate warrior from the Sun Temple?" The figure of light sounded somewhat shocked. She fell silent for a moment, then said, "You just said that person is only eighteen years old and already possesses such combat power? Unbelievable. Which Divine Sect does he come from?"

Clearly, to the figure of light, Qin Xuantian being so powerful at such a young age meant he had to belong to some Ancient Divine Sect.

"He's not from any Divine Sect," Cheng Yuyao said proudly. "If Qin Xuantian were from an Ancient Divine Sect, then his strength would be expected, and I wouldn't admire him! Qin Xuantian isn't affiliated with any Divine Sect; he cultivated his strength entirely on his own. It's not due to any connection with an Ancient Divine Sect."

"That's impossible!" the figure of light vehemently denied, stating with utmost seriousness, "Absolutely impossible! Disciples of Ancient Divine Sects who practice Divine Skills and Immortal Laws are unparalleled among their peers! Disciples from outside Divine Sects absolutely cannot match those from Divine Sects. Not only at the same level—they might even be defeated by those a tier lower. That Qin Xuantian must be a disciple of an Ancient Divine Sect; you just don't know it."

"Hmph! I won't argue with you." Cheng Yuyao pouted. "You say I must become Transcendent, but why must I kill someone? This is modern society; killing is illegal. Besides, although Qin Heng is a wastrel, he doesn't deserve to die. You want me to kill him, to take his life. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Not at all. In the world of Martial Artists, the strong are revered," the figure of light said, not continuing the argument but chuckling. "The world is about to change. You must acquire sufficient power before then to gain an advantage. Otherwise, you might die."

"But... killing is really illegal," Cheng Yuyao reiterated.

"..." The figure of light fell silent again, then sighed. "Don't worry, I have ways to conceal it. This Qin Heng is the son of a wealthy man and possesses a strong aura of fortune. I can help you refine this intangible fortune into power, helping you achieve a complete metamorphosis. Within a day, you could become a Grandmaster of Transcendence."

"Isn't that like devouring someone?" Cheng Yuyao exclaimed in shock. "That's a wicked and evil path! What exactly are you? You can't be the remnant soul of a demon, can you?"

"Nonsense! My dignified self... Ugh, I can't possibly be the remnant soul of a demon. Very well, in that case, I can let that Qin Heng live," the figure of light said helplessly. "Tomorrow, go see Qin Heng and interact with him normally. I have other methods."

"But I don't want to associate with a profligate wastrel..." Cheng Yuyao said, still willful and somewhat displeased.

"Do you, or do you not, want to achieve transcendence, possess great power, and control your own destiny?!" The figure of light finally erupted in anger, her heart filled with sorrow and indignation, wishing she could give Cheng Yuyao a good beating right then and there!

However, she now existed only as a wisp of a soul, lacking even the power to manifest in the present world, so she could only entertain such thoughts.

Thinking this, the remnant soul felt even more stifled. How powerful I was in my past life! Now, revived and with my soul gathered at this time of changing rules, I had intended to find a disciple to nurture while seeking an opportunity to coalesce a physical body. But I never imagined I'd encounter such an eccentric as Cheng Yuyao!!

"Alright! I'm willing, I'm willing!!" Seeing that the figure of light seemed genuinely angry, Cheng Yuyao quickly nodded and agreed.

"Then tomorrow, follow my instructions," the figure of light said through gritted teeth—if she had teeth at that moment.

「Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa in Beijing's Yangming District.」

BANG! BANG! BANG!!

Fierce sounds of punches and kicks echoed continuously in the martial training room. A young man, bare-chested and with bulging muscles, relentlessly struck an iron dummy before him.

His punching speed was incredibly fast; an average person couldn't even see his fists move. The power behind them was also astonishing, each punch leaving a deep imprint on the iron dummy.

"ARGH! DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT!!" the young man roared, his eyes filled with killing intent. His punching speed steadily increased, his power continuously amplified, as he crazily pounded the iron dummy.

It was as if the iron dummy were his mortal enemy, and he wanted nothing more than to smash it to pieces immediately!

BOOM!

Suddenly, under the young man's relentless barrage of fierce punches, the iron dummy, thirty centimeters in diameter, snapped and crashed thunderously to the ground!

"Young Master is so imposing! So mighty, Young Master!!" The waiting butler immediately hurried forward, handing the young man water and a towel. "Young Master, you should rest for now. There's a company meeting tomorrow," he said.

"Get lost!" The young man slapped the butler, sending him tumbling to the ground. The butler coughed up blood and died on the spot, but the young man seemed utterly indifferent. His gaze fixed in the direction of Beijing University, his eyes filled with murderous intent!

"Damn it, Qin Heng, is it?! Just some rich heir from the Daqin Group! How dare he try to steal my woman! Cheng Yuyao is mine, Fang Aotian's! No one can take her away! Qin Heng, you useless rich brat! For you to go on a blind date with Cheng Yuyao is an outright desecration to her! Tomorrow, I'll kill you right in front of Yuyao! I'll torture you to death brutally!!"
